As Sabre Red App certified developers, you can either use pre-defined classes for Sabre Red 360 or you can customize your own classes. This book illustrates how to create a command and handler when you want to develop custom classes, without using Sabre Red 360 classes.

The procedure shows how to create a generic command using the extension point org.eclipse.ui.commands and a handler using the extension point org.eclipse.ui.handlers . You can use this procedure whenever you need to create a command and a handler.

Creating a Java command declares its behavior, and the handler implements the behavior. After you create a command with a handler, you must bind the command to an editor or a view to make it functional. Without binding it to some object, it is not functional. For the procedure that shows how to create editor commands and handlers, and bind a command to an editor, see Editors.
